Balances::transfer will be removed

[ggwpez]

Just a heads-up that there will be a breaking change to the balances pallet here: paritytech/polkadot-sdk#1226

Two calls will be renamed removed:

• transfer -> transfer_allow_death
• set_balance_deprecated -> force_set_balance

Feel free to close if this will be handled automatically, just wanted to ensure that you are not surprised by it 😄

Not sure if this affects the front end, but just in case, they are not actually renamed, they are removed (which means that their indexes are not longer valid), and the other functions should be used instead.
This comes from the Currency deprecation PR paritytech/substrate#12951

It has been handled for a while,

apps/packages/react-components/src/modals/Transfer.tsx

Lines 222 to 228 in 0366991

	tx={
	canToggleAll && isAll && isFunction(api.tx.balances?.transferAll)
	? api.tx.balances?.transferAll
	: isProtected
	? api.tx.balances?.transferKeepAlive
	: api.tx.balances?.transferAllowDeath || api.tx.balances?.transfer
	}

(After this PR when the new extrinsics went in around 6-odd months ago - #9221 it will always default to the newest with a fallback for older chains)

@jacogr just to triple check, do set_balance_deprecated -> force_set_balance follow the same fashion?
